Watchlists let you save and organize the stocks you're interested in. You can create multiple lists (up to 10) with up to 100 stocks each.

Built-in watchlists

OptyTrades comes with two built-in watchlists available to all users:

  • Indexes & ETFs — 25 popular ETFs including SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, all sector SPDRs (XLF, XLE, XLK, etc.), and thematic/commodity/bond ETFs like GLD, TLT, and ARKK.
  • S&P 500 — All S&P 500 component stocks, pulled directly from the screener's data so they load instantly.
Built-in watchlists pull from the screener's backend, so they load just as fast as the main “All Stocks” view. You can bookmark any stock from these lists into your personal watchlists to build a custom mix of stocks and ETFs.

Creating a watchlist

  1. Click the gear icon next to the watchlist dropdown at the top of the screener.
  2. In the “Manage Watchlists” modal, type a name for your new list and click Create.
  3. You'll see your new list appear. You can now add stocks to it.

Adding stocks to a watchlist

There are two ways:

  • From the screener table: Click the star icon on any stock row. If you have multiple watchlists, a popover appears letting you check/uncheck which lists to add it to. If you only have one list, it toggles automatically.
  • From the manage modal: Open the gear icon, click a list to expand it, then type a ticker in the “Add ticker” input and press Enter. The symbol is validated before being added (fake tickers are rejected).

Viewing a watchlist

Use the dropdown at the top of the screener (next to the gear icon) to switch between “All Stocks” and any of your watchlists. When viewing a watchlist, the table shows only stocks in that list — and they're fetched independently, so you'll see all your watchlist stocks even if they aren't in the main screener universe.

Filter memory

Each watchlist remembers its own filter settings. So if you set “Min Score: 70+” on your “Blue Chips” list and “Sector: Tech” on your “Tech Picks” list, those filters are restored automatically when you switch between lists. “All Stocks” has its own saved filters too.

Your active watchlist selection is also saved automatically. If you switch to your “Blue Chips” list and close the browser, it will be selected again next time you open the screener.

Removing stocks

Click the star icon again to remove a stock, or open the manage modal, expand the list, and click the × next to any ticker pill.
